Beatin' the World's Biggest Burger

"The Beer Barrel Belly Bruiser is so big that it looks like it might eat Brad Sciullo. Nonetheless the 21-year-old chef from Uniontown, Pa., took down the 15-pound burger along with 5 pounds of toppings in four hours and 39 minutes. For his efforts the 5-foot-11, 180-pound received $400, three T-shirts, a certificate and what the owner of Denny's Beer Barrel Pub calls 'a burger hangover.'

"Sciullo is the first person to ever successfully eat this outlandishly huge burger within the 5-hour time limit. The colossal cheeseburger was dressed with lettuce, tomatoes, cheese, onions, mild banana peppers and a cup each of mayonnaise, ketchup, mustard and relish."

I like me a big ol' hamburger. I love me a big ol' hamburger with luttuce, tomatoes, onions, peppers, mayo, mustard, cheese and ketchup. I would've very much enjoyed helping Mr. Sciullo eat his 15-lb burger. But he didn't need my help, did he?
